That's so strange- I had the same pain with DD but didn't know what it was. I just assumed it was a pregnancy thing so just suffered. and I read your post on sciatica pain and lordy, I had that too but knew what it was after lots of Dr Google! I didn't add to the sciatic thread as you are dealing with that by the sounds of things but this vein/ligament thing made it really sore for me to walk (combined with sciatica) and the only thing that healed them both was giving birth. Yes, you have all my sympathy! Did you not have the smae issues with your other darlings? Or is this the first time?
